[Fot] Duck Waddle

[Paul Ricco]

Rick,

We will miss our time with Duck at Road America.  Seeing him each year at the SVRA Spring Vintage Festival and catching-up with him was always a great start to our season.  We would usually spend a good hour together at the start of the event  I originally met Duck at Skip Barber Driving School and at events that I participated in.   That was when Skip Barber was really rolling as an organization and doing well.  Before the last owners destroyed it.

Duck was always willing to share what he knew about a track, track maps that he had put together and videos that he made.  If you ever did a van ride with Duck at Road America, you got to learn some really good stuff from him.  He would teach you things and never make you feel dumb because he knew more than you.  That is a rare quality these days.

Rick is correct about Duck going fast in little cars.  I have a video that Duck did in a Bobsy and he could really fly in that little car.  He really liked Bobsy’s.  When I asked him about Bobsy one day, he called them “honest little cars.”  He was very comfortable driving them.  

We will miss seeing Duck driving around the paddock on a scooter, or in his car with his dog.

Duck helped me a lot and I am sure that he will be missed by many.
